Marking Period 2 Checkup


This marking period was overall not very successful, as many of the solutions I tried to use to make screen recording work on my own computer were not successful. However, I did manage to find a solution in the form of QuickTime recorder, which requires me to use the Mac in the recording booth, which limits me to recording Super Smash Bros. Melee for the time being. However, using a Mac comes with it's own issues, such as no sound, and only having access to one controller port in my GameCube to PC Adapter, an issue unique to Mac. While this does have a workaround, it is a workaround that requires administrator permissions, and as a result is a solution that I am not capable of using at this time.

On the other hand, this recording situation is merely temporary, as my new PC setup should be finished at the end of February, when I purchase my new graphics card. Until March it will need to be recorded at a slightly lower resolution, but after March I will be able to properly record all the footage I need and begin producing weekly videos.

 

I also did some work in Photoshop to create resources for content creators including twitch overlays and YouTube thumbnails, and I have also began editing for a Leage of Legends montage channel.
